Selling Your Home - Quick and Easy
There are some basic strategies that you can use to sell your home faster than most on the market and get a great price at the same time.
The first thing any homeowner usually does when he's decided that he wants to sell his home is set the asking price! You do not want to price your home out of the market or price it so low that you find yourself with a smaller profit than you’re entitled to. Survey the homes for sale in your neighborhood, check out the asking prices, compare your house with the other homes and then decide how much you can ask for.
Next, you’ve got to get your home ready to show. The best way to begin is to pretend walking into the house as if you were a prospective buyer and looking at it from their perspective – look at the the window sills, walls, the carpet, counter tops, look at every nook and corner of your house – is everything good? Spot the problems and have them fixed. Clean every inch of your home including the windows inside and out.
Next, get rid of all the clutter. You may be comfortable with the way your house looks and feels, afterall you've been living in it for some time now, but prospective buyers may not necessarily share the same feelings. If you’ve got several pieces of unused furniture which take up more space than needed, put them away. Your house needs to look spacious. Check for anything that may turn off the buyer and repair or replace the problem.
And finally the exteriors! This is the very first thing a buyer will see when they pull up to your home. Are there oil stains in the driveway or garage, how do the rain gutters appear, is the pavement or sidewalk cracked and do you have any moss on the roof? Get all of them fixed.
Once done, you are ready to place your home on the market and see it sell faster than the others.
